. The following revised and extended item was recently accommodated online, full text, open access, courtesy of the Independent Living Institute: "Social Responses to Disability & Poverty in Economically Weaker Countries: research, trends, critique, and lessons usually not learnt. Annotated bibliography of modern and historical materials." www.independentliving.org/docs7/miles200603.html This introduces 250 articles and books showing social responses to disability and poverty in two-thirds of the world now and in history, with critical notes. It commends some intelligent approaches in the face of complexity, and challenges simplistic slogans and official blah-blah. (In all probability, 200 million disabled adults and children at the sharper end of the poverty spectrum will live and will die without the slightest benefit from international human knowledge and insight compiled and annotated here. Yet it has nowhere been shown that this dis-connection must inevitably persist. It's likely, but it's not inevitable). Anyhow, the bibliog, intro and notes are up there, flaws, warts and all. This version is about three times longer than the earlier one, at the DisabilityWorld site, which confined itself to modern material. The longer one isn't necessarily better, but it covers more ground and now has some historical depth. best, miles ________________End of message______________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
